Ennui: Difference between revisions - Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

The debut seven inch from Ennui was the start of what could be considered the second generation of Slamdek. Up to this point, most everyone who had released records on Slamdek had graduated from high school during the eighties. Ennui, and the crowd they were from, was next in line. They were all about five to seven years younger than members of bands like [[Endpoint]], [[Sunspring]], and [[Crain]]. However, as tightly knit as Louisville was, the age difference wasn’t enough to prevent everyone from already knowing each other. I had long been a fan of the hilarious Scalp fanzine made by two insane, hyperactive skateboarders, [[Matt Ronay]] and [[Josh Sachs]]. So naturally, when Matt became the singer for a new band called Ennui in early 1991, I was interested in the band.

The overall excitement and enthusiasm for the Ennui record was one of the most rewarding aspects of it. Essentially, [[Endpoint]] and [[Crain]] had gone on about their business with other labels, and in November 1991, [[Sunspring]] was the only band on [[Slamdek]]. The current releases on the label were the [[Slambang Vanilla]] video, [[7 More Seconds]] cassette, and a cassette of unreleased [[Spot]] material. None of these could scarcely be classified as “anchor�? records. Slamdek was drifting, and the door was wide open for new people with new ideas to come in and breathe new life into the label.
